“Gloria would stay inside from the cold, and Mama would stay in with her and do the house chores. For Joey Frank, Saturday was always the special day that he and Ernie would spend together. Since their first day in school they became the best of buddies. They would spend the day fishing at the river or roaming the hills and hollows in search of buckeyes to bring them good luck.
